What is Lasting Power of Attorney?

If in the future you are unable to manage your own affairs, the people you have appointed can manage your financial life on your behalf. This can save a great deal of money and distress, and will ensure that, as a vulnerable person, your affairs will be handled correctly and quickly.

Nobody hopes for the worst… but you can prepare for it.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/planning-funeral-1.jpg” title_text=”planning-funeral” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”]

What Does an LPA Do?

An ‘LPA’ is a powerful tool that enables you to give your partner, children, sibling or close friend the power to ‘be you’ in the eyes of the law.

If you consider a Will as your wishes in death, the ‘LPA’ handles your wishes while you are still alive, but unable to make decisions for yourself.

There are many reasons why this might be the case, such as dementia, physical disability, an accident that leaves you incapacitated or even just a broken leg that stops you being able to go to the local bank![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”]

How does it work?

An ‘LPA’ is a document signed by you, your attorney and witnesses. Once correctly signed, the document is ready to be registered with the ‘Office of the Public Guardian’, the government department who administer them.

The ‘LPA’ is 2 separate documents; one that deals with ‘Health & Welfare’ and the other that handles ‘Property & Financial Affairs’.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/planning-lpa.jpg” alt=”Lasting Power of Attorney” title_text=”planning-lpa” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/planning-wills.jpg” alt=”Lasting Power of Attorney” title_text=”planning-wills” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”]

Will Writing

Everyone should have a Will but it is even more important if you have children, you own property or have savings, investments, insurance policies or you own a business.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/planning-trusts.jpg” alt=”Trusts” title_text=”planning-trusts” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”]

Trusts

A Trust allows your assets to be handed down to your beneficiaries at a time decided by you and most convenient to them, typically money or property being held for a set time period or indefinitely to provide an income or somewhere to live.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/planning-funeral.jpg” alt=”Funeral planning” title_text=”planning-funeral” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”]

Funeral Plans

With a Funeral Plan you choose the funeral you want, and then pay for your chosen plan at today’s prices. Paying for your funeral today can be a good option compared to saving for your funeral as the cost of the funeral director’s services are fixed at today’s prices.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0f102f” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://assetharbour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/trustpilot-banner.jpg” title_text=”trustpilot-banner” _builder_version=”4.9.9″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
